Titus 2:1-8 ▼

1 But say the things which fit sound doctrine,

2 that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance,

3 and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good,

4 that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their children,

5 to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.

6 Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded.

7 In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,

8 and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned, that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
